Critical Thinking

The following are the facts you are to use for the basis for this question.

Georgia and Loren have pooled their savings to create a start-up company to develop and market an idea they conceived while students together at MIT. They obtained permission to use a college lab during late night hours a few nights a week during their last term before graduating to work on the project. Then they were able to move to Loren's parents garage, which they keep locked.
Now they need more sophisticated resources. They have created a prototype robotic device, called "Phoebe," that will aid first responders in disaster relief by sensing and locating survivors remotely in areas unsafe for humans and dogs to navigate. Phoebe's sensors will locate living beings, scan vitals and assess level of trauma.
Georgia and Loren have mapped out both private and public,  civil, and military, applications of their invention, plus continued R & D improvement into next-phase capabilities.

Gap Analysis

Gap Analysis Draft

Complete the gap analysis worksheet, using the form provided in the Resources. Based on your ongoing original research and review of existing data (see the second discussion in this unit), identify performance gaps that affect or illustrate the issue you selected for your course project. You should include not only any gaps that state the problem itself, but also those that contribute to causing the problem. Gaps may be identified with numeric values or verbal descriptions depending on the nature of each gap itself. Use a separate row for each gap.

In a narrative, state the problem you are investigating in no more than one sentence. Discuss how you can use this worksheet as your needs assessment project progresses. For instance, how does this gap analysis impact your further research?
